An audio/video reproducing system, an audio/video device therein, and an
audio/video reproducing method therewith are provided that allow
appreciation of a great deal of audio or video using a recording medium
with a small capacity.A server writes only a part of audio data read from
an audio database in a recording medium. An audio reproducing device
reads the audio data from the recording medium, while establishing
communication connection with the server via the Internet to request
lacking audio data. When an ID code and password sent from the audio
reproducing device matches up with a pre-registered ID code and password,
the server permits login and transmits the lacking audio data to the
audio reproducing device. The audio reproducing device synthesizes the
audio data read from the recording medium and the audio data sent from
the server to produce complete audio data so as to reproduce audio.
